Today the world celebrates a wonderful holiday - World Cat Day . On this occasion, I propose to congratulate your own pets or feed the homeless, and at the same time remember our most beloved animated cat characters. After all, cats are incredibly charming creatures, it’s no wonder that they make such cute cartoon characters. And they all have their own unique characters. Don't believe me? Let's see!
Kitten named Woof
Perhaps the most famous kitten from Soviet cartoons is a kitten with the unusual name Woof. He looks at the world with his big blue eyes, makes friends with the puppy and generally behaves strangely and not like a cat. This cartoon is called one of the most touching Soviet cartoons. Therefore, Woof confidently wins the “Cutest Kitten” category.
Cat Matroskin
The sensible and reasonable cat Matroskin from the cartoon Troy from Prostokvashino was a real helper to his owner: he did housework, looked after his sick Uncle Fyodor, and kept a cow. Do you remember his catchphrase: “I can also bake pies”? I think no one would refuse such a pet. So he is the only possible winner in the “Most Economic Cat” category.
Leopold the cat
The phrase “Leopold, come out!” Come out, you vile coward!” we remember from childhood. Leopold is an intellectual and a pacifist, he tries not to harm anyone. At the same time, he is constantly tormented by a couple of impudent mouse hooligans who consider Leopold's kindness a sign of cowardice. But, as it should be in a children's cartoon, good (even peaceful) always defeats evil (even militant). For his patience, endurance and willpower, Leopold is awarded the title “The Friendliest Cat”.
Scarecrow-Meow
The name of this cartoon has become a household word. This is what parents call their children when they are not seriously angry with them, but want to jokingly scold them. A little kitten wants to sing his song to people, but everyone scolds him and drives him away. But at the end of the cartoon, the kitten will find a new friend, sing his song, and things will immediately improve for all the people around him. For this we will give him the title “The Happiest Kitten”. In the sense that brings happiness.
Kitten from Lizyukov Street
Kitten Vasily lives in Voronezh on Lizyukova Street and constantly runs away from the puppy. Vasily does not like this life, and he dreams of turning into a big and terrible beast. The witch crow turns the kitten into a hippopotamus and sends it to Africa. But it turns out that being a hippopotamus is also not easy, especially if you try to climb trees out of habit. Missing home, the hippopotamus kitten nails signs with the name of his native street to the palm trees. Therefore, when his elephant friend found herself in Voronezh, she was surprised: “Where do these African names come from?” Well, I don’t know , maybe in real Africa they haven’t heard about Lizyukov Street, but the kitten definitely made it famous throughout Russia. Therefore, it is not surprising that a monument to Vasily appeared on it several years ago - the first monument to an animated character in Russia. That’s why we’ll call him “The Most Memorable Kitten.”
Fat Red Cat (Return of the Prodigal Parrot)
The barrel-shaped red cat from the cartoon Return of the Prodigal Parrot is, although not the main character, but a very memorable character. Such a cartoon Oblomov: he lives with rich owners, he has everything and needs nothing. “Tahiti-Tahiti! We were not in any Tahiti! They feed us well here too!” So he earned the title of "The Laziest Cat".
Garfield
Garfield, a cheeky and narcissistic red cat, was born on the pages of a comic book, then got his own animated series, and a few years ago he grew into a film. He is incredibly selfish and lazy, but shows rare ingenuity to get food. Despite the cat's bad character, the owner loves him, and Garfield himself is capable of showing good feelings. He is somewhat similar to a fat red cat, but he is much more arrogant. Well, that’s what we’ll call him: “The most impudent cat.”
Aristocratic cats
A family of aristocratic cats: the cat Duchess and her trio of kittens find themselves in a difficult situation: their owner's butler is trying to get rid of the animals in order to receive an inheritance instead, and takes them out of town. The pets were not ready for life on the street, but the family met the street cat Thomas O'Malley, who helps them return to Paris. Aristocrats is a musical cartoon, so its characters fully deserve the title of “The Most Musical Cats.”
Mitten
The disheveled stray black cat named Mitten from the Disney cartoon Bolt is an independent and cunning creature. She once had a home and owners, but they moved and left the cat on the street. Mittens became a cynical pessimist with a sarcastic sense of humor. How else? You can't abandon animals! The cartoon, of course, will end well, but because of its difficult fate, I want to call Mitten “The Unluckiest Cartoon Cat.”
Puss in Boots
The first place among the most beloved and charming cartoon kittens deservedly goes to Puss in Boots from the cartoon series about Shrek . His favorite technique in a fight is to look at his opponent with big, big eyes. And when the enemies are moved and throw down their weapons to pet the charming creature, the cat rushes into battle. Puss in Boots appeared in the second Shrek cartoon as a specialist in killing ogres, but unexpectedly became a friend of the green ogre. The audience loved him so much that they even made their own film about him. I think that for his soulful look, he fully deserves the title of “The most charming cat” from the cartoon.

Kitten named Woof
This naive blue-eyed kitten with an extravagant name, running towards “all sorts of troubles,” together with his bosom friend the puppy Sharik, was invented by the Russian writer Grigory Oster and occupies a huge place in the heart of everyone who grew up in Soviet and post-Soviet times.
By the way, the cartoon Woof is a purebred kitten, his image was partially copied from a Thai cat (an old-type Siamese).
Kitten Tee
The gray and white kitten named Tee was invented and drawn by Konami Kanata, who released a series of comics dedicated to the adventures of the child himself, and subsequently a multi-part anime series was filmed. In the story, Ti lags behind his mother cat, staring at the birds, and is left completely alone in a big dangerous city. In the end, he finds shelter in a Japanese family.
Oddly enough, the series “Tee’s Sweet Home” contains a lot of useful information about keeping a pet, so it will be interesting not only for children, but also for adults.

For kittens to perform their cuteness magic, all they need is a bag or an old box, but the kitten from this cartoon has a whole magician’s house in his arsenal. Funny toys, equipment for illusions, hats - all this lost Thunder, who got to the magician by accident, would have mastered it easily. But the illusionist’s other animals looked suspiciously at the new tenant. Who is interested in rabbits and mice when there is a fluffy big-eyed and purring creature nearby? The rodents' dissatisfaction is completely justified, and simply being next to a predator that seems to be able to eat you is an unpleasant circumstance. The rabbit and the mouse, in the tradition of the Mouse Hunt, try to get Thunder out of the house, but in the end only the old magician survives. The owner is taken to the hospital, and the animals of the magical mansion encounter a fairy-tale idiot - the magician's nephew. The guy's moral compass is very bad - years of working as a realtor are taking their toll, so taking advantage of the property of a temporarily immobilized uncle seems like a cool idea to the antagonist. But Grom and the other inhabitants of the house are ready to defend their home from real estate raids, and the cat version of “Home Alone” begins on the screen.

Matroskin
The sensible and economical Cat Matroskin from “Prostokvashino” is a materialist to the core, was invented by the Soviet writer Eduard Uspensky and appears in his fairy tale “Uncle Fyodor, the Dog and the Cat.” Matroskin gained enormous popularity after the release of the animated series “Prostokvashino”, where he was voiced by actor Oleg Tabakov.
Immortal quotes from the cat Matroskin like “Whiskers, paws, tail, here are my documents!” and “It’s not right, Uncle Fyodor, you’re eating a sandwich, you hold it with the sausage up, but you should put the sausage on your tongue, it will turn out tastier” have long migrated to the category of folklore.

Puss in Boots
A still from the cartoon “Puss in Boots” from DreamWorks, where the cat makes huge eyes, wanting to deprive his opponent of his will, has become one of the most popular memes on the Internet. Puss in Boots in this cartoon was voiced by actor Antonio Banderas, and his friend Puss Softpaw was voiced by Salma Hayek.
Bagheera
The exquisite yellow-eyed Bagheera was created by British writer Rudyard Kipling and appears in his works The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book. One of the critics argued that among all Mowgli’s companions, it was Bagheera who identified love, and the bear Baloo and the boa constrictor Kaa - strength and knowledge.
In the books, Bagheera is male, but we remember her precisely from the female image created in the Soviet cartoon “Mowgli”. In it, Bagheera is a symbol of female beauty, grace, coquetry and a sharp mind; the lion's share of the extravagance of Bagheera's image belongs to the magnificent voice acting by Lyudmila Kasatkina.
Ginger cat
“Tahiti, Tahiti, they feed us well here too!” - said the imposing, pot-bellied cat, familiar to us from the series of cartoons “The Return of the Prodigal Parrot.” Although his name is not mentioned in any episode of the cartoon, this nameless charismatic cat is very fond of Soyuzmultfilm fans.
Volume
The adventures of the unlucky cat Tom and the cunning mouse Jerry have been followed for many, many generations, because the first issue was launched back in 1940! Although Tom is more of an antagonist, many viewers sympathized with the cat, and not the mouse, who always got away with it.
Cheshire Cat
Cheshire cat from the Soviet cartoon of 1981, Kievnauchfilm
The eternally philosophizing, constantly grinning cat from Lewis Carroll's fairy tale "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has not only an amazing smile, but also an extraordinary character. The Cheshire cat is one of the most popular and mysterious trickster characters.

And again about the runaway kitten. Fluffy is fulfilling his nickname as best he can: his sides are rounded, his movements are minimal, his dream is to lie forever in his owners’ house and disturb the peace of his furry paws as little as possible. The only thing that prevents Pukhlyash from turning into the happiest lump of fat is his son Shutrik. Dad and baby are united only by their telling names: Shustrik cannot stand even a couple of seconds without moving and most of all wants to escape from home to the land of pink dreams. The way there lies through dirty and cruel streets, but can dirt, cold and hunger stop the little dreamer? Nimble runs away, and Fluffy also has to go outside in search of the restless kitten.

fat belly
The main villain in the constant purple jacket from the Disney animated series “Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers” - the cunning cat Fatty - spoiled a lot of blood for the rescue chipmunks. Tolstopuz is a real gangster and an unsurpassed villain, but he prefers to implement his villainous plans with the help of his narrow-minded assistants, rather than on his own, so they are, as a rule, doomed to failure.

The beauty loves to spend time on a window sill lined with flowers, enjoying their fragrance and simultaneously watching passers-by.

The first Disney film to be drawn using 2D computer animation. There are much more dogs and people here than cats, but the main character is a little purr named Oliver. In New York, good hands ended with this kitten, and the only way the baby was saved from the feeling of loneliness was by killing everything with hunger. The kitten tries to steal the fragrant sausages, but nothing works, and then the first dog appears in the plot - Dodger. An experienced tramp, living with a petty thief and a whole flock of equally homeless four-legged animals. Dodger and Oliver lighten the meat counter by a couple of kilograms, but the dog does not intend to share the spoils. The cunning, sneaky and slobbering mongrel runs away with the stolen sausages to his pack, but Oliver follows the dog's trail and soon charms the homeless owner and all his pets. But the homeless family has no time for a happily ever after: the owner owes money to a very dangerous moneylender, and the four-legged animals must help the man pay on time.
